Netafim 4 Way Dripper Assembly for Small Pots on Two Rows
Small pots are often set out in a double row along each lateral, with one row close to the line and one row farther out. This Netafim flat MOD, item 40201-003300 and model 014DM-1830FS, matches that layout from a single dripper. Two of its tubes run 18 in for the inner pots, and two run 30 in for the outer pots. Every tube finishes in a short angle arrow about 3-3/4 in long, which Netafim recommends for 4 to 5 in pots. A stake that size sits securely in a small root ball without punching through the drainage holes. The flat manifold at the center divides one dripper's output between all four tubes. Tubing is Netafim Super Flex UV White PE, white all the way through and fully opaque. That stops algae from growing inside the line and keeps the water cooler on a sunny bench. Each pack includes 25 assemblies, so it covers 100 pots. Pair each one with its own pressure compensating feed dripper, sold on its own.
Positioning Each Short Arrow Drip Stake
Netafim's standard pairing is one 2.0 GPH Woodpecker PC Junior dripper per assembly, which gives each pot about 0.50 GPH. The PC dripper holds a steady output from 10 to 45 psi, so uniformity holds along the full length of the lateral. Its check valve keeps the line charged between cycles and prevents drainage onto the lowest containers. Push each short arrow drip stake into the media at an angle toward the center of the pot. Route the shorter tubes to the inner row and the longer tubes to the outer row, keeping the manifold level between them. Watering stays at the root zone, so leaves dry quickly and protective sprays are not washed off. Keep one assembly type per zone so the flow split is the same for every plant. Around 800 pots on this layout draw roughly 7 GPM, which helps size the valve, filter and regulator. Netafim notes that a complete MOD system usually pays for itself within the first season. The manifold separates after the crop, and the tubing rolls up tangle-free.
